Bernardo: Non-fundamental representational existence is determined by the fundamental attributes of the will, which is itself determined just by what it is. Existence is what it is. The will is not free.
Chris: The fundamental attributes of the will and existence only exist when they are instantiated. This requires both fundamental attributes and non-fundamental values coupled together. There is thus freedom after all via the selection of these values, and rather than being dualistically separated, “non-fundamental representational existence” is really the self-instantiated attributes of the will.
Let me try to boil this down.
